Thinking that's no t all, JamesK adds:
also a little dicey at times, precisely because of the uncomfortable intimacy of reporters with their subjects and the mobility of the same people between the roles of the reporter and of the story being covered.
Michael Avitabile brings a word of caution:
LOL Cat of the Day Look-Alike of the Day FAIL of the Day Quote of the Day Update: G-Force Sucks!
Ben Nicholson-Smith shows how it is done:
"The comparison I had in mind was to say, Theo Epstein. A GM who, without the benefit of high draft picks,and despite being able to simply "buy" players, has drafted the likes of Kevin Youklis, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, Justin Masterson, Jacoby Ellsbury, etc." Lester was drafter by interim GM Mike Port and Youkilis was drafted in the dark days of Dan Duquette. But Papelbon was drafted by Theo. Posted by: start_wearing_purple | July 31, 2009 at 05:52 PM

JamesK is not really sure about that:
Can someone explain WHY it was unethical? I keep reading that Rubin was unethical or that there was a conflict of interest. I would be interested to read why. If Rubin wanted to transition to a front office position, how else would he go about doing it? And why the heck would he ask Jeff Wilpon for advice about moving up in the newspaper industry?

kzfone brings more details:
Thursday s Press Release Post Westwood One Radio s 2009-10 College Football Sche... Press Releases From Wednesday
Matthew Cerrone tells the real story:
If we were 2 or 3 out of the Wild Card, I could see being more upset. But are we really contenders? We just lost 2 in a row. If SF beats Philly tonight, we re out 7 1/2. If feels like so many people are hypocrites. At the deadline in 04 when they traded Kazmir and Wigginton for Kris Benson, they were 6 out of the Wild Card and 49-54. They re currently 7 out and 49-53. It s nearly an identical situation (a dominating division club too). Should have we really been contenders in 04? No. Should we buy now? No.

Just because he has been critical doesn't mean there is no bias by James Kannengieser on Jul 28, 2009 11:19 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs Plus maybe he is critical because he didn t get a job. I am not saying that is Rubin s motivation, just pointing out how it could be a conflict of interest or could bias his reporting. by blains2000 on Jul 28, 2009 12:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Matthew Cerrone remembers that:
JefJarrett says: July 27, 2009 at 9:33 am Well, not that I think he will help out too much by being here - but I suppose it s better to realize you want to keep him before you cut him and have someone else pick him up. He certainly isn t as bad as hes pitched ..so hopefuly he gets his act together.
In addition to this, Matthew Cerrone states:
Also, maybe I m in the minority here but it doesn t seem to me like Rubin crossed some line. Based on what Rubin said, and what was essentially corroborated by Wilpon and Minaya later, Rubin never lobbied for a job in the organization. Rather, he has always been curious about getting involved in either the sports network side or baseball organizational side of the business and he has spoken to people he has encountered over many years from many organizations, including Wilpon and Minaya, for info. That makes perfect sense to me. I imagine being a beat reporter, you form relationships with people you deal with regularly and that seems completely natural that over the months and years that you cover a team, that the conversation veers to all sorts of topics of interest. It also appears that he was cognizant of not crossing a line which is why he didn t take Wilpon up on his offer.
For example, JamesK considers:
sports journalism in general is in bed with the entities it covers, and that makes for awfully murky situations

JamesK says it all comes down to this:
Minaya and Wilpon both offer contradictory accounts of the nature of Rubins query I don t think you can take much of it at face value. Although Wipon s, GK&R s and Rubin s account seem much closer. Rubin wasn t asking for a job. He was asking How does one get a job doing that . It was more exploratory and seems to fit within the bounds of his job. I don t think there is a conflict of interest here. If anything, Minaya should have woken up this moring to a pink slip from Wilpon for such a horrific display. by Chickendirt on Jul 28, 2009 1:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

If we were 2 or 3 out of the Wild Card, I could see being more upset. But are we really contenders? We just lost 2 in a row. If SF beats Philly tonight, we re out 7 1/2. If feels like so many people are hypocrites. At the deadline in 04 when they traded Kazmir and Wigginton for Kris Benson, they were 6 out of the Wild Card and 49-54. They re currently 7 out and 49-53. It s nearly an identical situation (a dominating division club too). Should have we really been contenders in 04? No. Should we buy now? No.

Just because he has been critical doesn't mean there is no bias by James Kannengieser on Jul 28, 2009 11:19 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs Plus maybe he is critical because he didn t get a job. I am not saying that is Rubin s motivation, just pointing out how it could be a conflict of interest or could bias his reporting. by blains2000 on Jul 28, 2009 12:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Matthew Cerrone remembers that:
JefJarrett says: July 27, 2009 at 9:33 am Well, not that I think he will help out too much by being here - but I suppose it s better to realize you want to keep him before you cut him and have someone else pick him up. He certainly isn t as bad as hes pitched ..so hopefuly he gets his act together.
In addition to this, Matthew Cerrone states:
Also, maybe I m in the minority here but it doesn t seem to me like Rubin crossed some line. Based on what Rubin said, and what was essentially corroborated by Wilpon and Minaya later, Rubin never lobbied for a job in the organization. Rather, he has always been curious about getting involved in either the sports network side or baseball organizational side of the business and he has spoken to people he has encountered over many years from many organizations, including Wilpon and Minaya, for info. That makes perfect sense to me. I imagine being a beat reporter, you form relationships with people you deal with regularly and that seems completely natural that over the months and years that you cover a team, that the conversation veers to all sorts of topics of interest. It also appears that he was cognizant of not crossing a line which is why he didn t take Wilpon up on his offer.
For example, JamesK considers:
sports journalism in general is in bed with the entities it covers, and that makes for awfully murky situations

JamesK says it all comes down to this:
Minaya and Wilpon both offer contradictory accounts of the nature of Rubins query I don t think you can take much of it at face value. Although Wipon s, GK&R s and Rubin s account seem much closer. Rubin wasn t asking for a job. He was asking How does one get a job doing that . It was more exploratory and seems to fit within the bounds of his job. I don t think there is a conflict of interest here. If anything, Minaya should have woken up this moring to a pink slip from Wilpon for such a horrific display. by Chickendirt on Jul 28, 2009 1:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

alan says: July 28, 2009 at 10:38 am Why does it matter if Adam Rubin is insulted about Omar Minaya spilling the beans that he was looking for a job within the organization. Beat writers seem to have no problem in blasting players, managers or front office people without looking at all sides of any particular problem. I am sick and tired of the medias idea that they have carte blanche to say anything without repercussion. They hammered the Mets for making the trade for Jeff Francouer and now they have elevated him to be the savior. Fact is that Jeff had some problems in Atlanta, and a change of scenery for him has been good. He is an energetic player on a team that has suffered through an injury plagued season and has gotten off to a good start. Go back to the first 60 days of 2007 and you will see that newly acquired Ryan Church was CARRYING this team by himself and at the top of the league leaders in hitting stats until he w as sidelined. Look at how the media treated Ryan since then! A bunch of egotistical, backstabbing weasels who are able to lead those who can t think for themselves. The media gets far too many considerations to do their jobs professionally and all too often are delivering tabloid like stories reminiscent of the Hollywood Rags that still sit atop the newsstands.
Matthew Cerrone sees it this way:
Nate W. says: July 27, 2009 at 10:59 am But Livan gives up 3 runs every first inning, I don t see how he can be a reliever. He takes a long time to warm up as it is. And he should try throwing an extra 25 pitches to simulate his first inning in the pen I d say Livan gets to stay a starter until he proves he isn t one of the best 5 they have, at which point he is let go. He makes less than Redding, keep in mind.

Matthew Cerrone tells the real story:
Maybe Omar did it on purpose, figuring he was done, and he wanted to get a head start with Tony on his 3 year paid vacation?
dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer) might have an idea about it:
by Dave Singer at 7:43 AM Labels: Adam Rubin , Daily News , New York Mets , Omar Minaya , Tony Bernazard
dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer) remembers that:
This is blatantly inaccurate, and has been quoted differently in every other paper this morning. The NY Post correctly quotes Omar as saying : "Adam, you gotta understand this, Adam, for the past couple of years, has lobbied for a player development position," Minaya said.
For example, JamesK considers:
Comments Display: Expanded Collapsed Thank You I said this yesterday in the game thread. Its not that I dont like Adam Rubin, but what he did was unethical. I would assume he is downplaying it now, his job is at stake, as I am sure the Ombudsman at The Daily News is now launching his own investigation. And if his defense is that everyone in the sports journalism world does it, then it is patently obvious that the majority of the sports journalism world is an open sewer of talentless hacks trying to break into the game. Which is a shame because Rubin did a great job in breaking this story. But now I have to question his motives. by aparkermarshall on Jul 28, 2009 7:10 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
For example, JamesK considers:
Jeff Wilpon has just come out in the last hour or so to personally apologize to Rubin. He said Omar had made a mistake and embarrassed the organization and Omar will be calling Rubin personally to apologize himself. Wilpon said that what Rubin did was not improper and that he is asked similar questions by others all the time. So I think that says it all about Rubin s actions in the past regarding his career. There was nothing improper there.
Matthew Cerrone is absolutely sure that:
Update, 4:15 pm: During today s press conference to announce the firing of Tony Bernazard, Mets GM Omar Minaya was clear to point out that Adam Rubin of the Daily News, who wrote the initial reports about Bernazard, had been lobbying the team for a job in the team s player development department.

No problem. That s the tricky thing with ethics; they re not clearly codified anywhere. The rules can change from newsroom to newsroom. I think the commenters below make an excellent point sports journalism in general is in bed with the entities it covers, and that makes for awfully murky situations.

Matthew Cerrone remembers that:
ctmetsfan17 says: July 27, 2009 at 5:15 pm Way to distract from a team coming home after two good wins. This is awful media management. Adam Rubin should have asked the Mets to be their new PR guy. Omar/Wilpon go after Rubin for outing Tony B . paging Dick Cheney. This is garbage. The Wilpon s should buy the Nationals if they want to act think this. I hope the Daily News/Rubin sue the Mets. If Jeff Wilpon is behind this Omar should resign so he can get a new job in the future. If Omar is behind it, he should be fired.
In contrast, noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine) replies:
Dropping Links: Friday, July 24th Mark Buehrle pitches perfect game against Rays Dropping Links: Thursday, July 23rd
Still not being convinced, Matthew Cerrone replies:
Lorenzo23 says: July 27, 2009 at 10:22 am Sorry wrong Rubin.. Why are we letting Lugo, under contract with the Red Sox, work out at our complex???? That makes no sense
Before going any further, Matthew Artus wants to get this straight:
If you want to understand what losing Delgado and Beltran did to the Mets' chances, look no further than the Slugging Percentage. No one delivers any extra-base hits, let alone home runs. That means the Mets ars stuck grinding out runs in a station-to-station offense, and that's without the one player ideally suited for that worst-case scenario . Was it fixable? Maybe in June, but it would've taken an awful lot of creativity on Omar Minaya's part to find it.
In other words, Matthew Cerrone puts it this way:
I want to truly believe that Omar is smarter than that and that this was a planned out, well calibrated move that as Matt stipulates above, sends a clear message to the other media members that are allowed to roam free amongst the Mets - if you expect us to keep things on the down low, you need to keep some things on the down low too. The Mets are clearly pissed about the story being made into a whole big thing by Rubin (who, by the way, if you ve read the article, absolutely slams the entire organization). They had something that they could use against him and did. Rubin may be shocked and angry, but I think the message is clear.
Hojo's Mojo remembers that:
The NY Post also uncovered some other disturbing news when they reported on a verbal altercation between Bernazard and Mets closer Frankie Rodriguez that almost came to blows had it not been broken up.
While it may be true, JamesK thinks:

July 28, 2009 8:39:00 AM EDT Anonymous said... You re missing the point, Dave. Doesn t matter if the or a job was said. Bottom line is Omar was royally pissed that he felt pressured to fire a friend and went after the messenger. His mindset was if Rubin didn t bring the stories to light, he would not have had to do that - and he wanted him to pay for that. His anger got the best of him at that press conference.

No problem. That s the tricky thing with ethics; they re not clearly codified anywhere. The rules can change from newsroom to newsroom. I think the commenters below make an excellent point sports journalism in general is in bed with the entities it covers, and that makes for awfully murky situations. When something like this happens, everyone can feel like the victim, and they may all have a valid point. by TheLetter2 on Jul 28, 2009 11:30 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Matthew Cerrone notices:
In a post to Twitter, Can t Stop the Bleeding writes: Here s a list of things the Wilpons and Minaya don t understand : 1) public relations, 2) journalism, 3) ponzi schemes, 4) baseball.
